Job description

Business Development Executive – Technology Staffing

TechYard USA | Boston, MA | Full-time

We're looking for a hunter. Are you one?

TechYard is growing its US business, and we're looking for an experienced staffing sales professional who knows how to win new business.

This isn't an account management role, and we're not looking for someone who needs a pipeline handed to them. We want a true hunter: someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships from scratch, and turning conversations into commercial opportunities.

You'll take ownership of new business development across the US, targeting companies that need exceptional technology talent. Working alongside our recruitment team, you'll identify opportunities, win new clients, and build partnerships that drive long-term growth.

If you've got a proven track record of winning new accounts in the staffing industry and want the opportunity to make a real impact in a growing business, we want to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Win new business: Identify, target, and secure new clients through cold calling, strategic outreach, networking, referrals, and your own industry connections.
• Build your own pipeline: Take full ownership of the sales process, from identifying prospects and making the first call to winning the business and securing job orders.
• Develop relationships: Build relationships with hiring managers, talent acquisition leaders, and C-suite executives across the technology sector.
• Create opportunities: Identify companies investing in AI, data, software engineering, and other emerging technology markets, and position TechYard as their recruitment partner.
• Close deals: Lead commercial discussions, negotiate terms, and convert opportunities into lasting client partnerships.
• Partner with recruitment: Work closely with our delivery team to understand client requirements, fill roles, and build relationships that generate repeat business.
• Own your results: Manage your pipeline, maintain accurate CRM records, and take accountability for your activity, performance, and revenue.

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of business development experience within a staffing or recruitment agency.
• A proven track record of winning new clients and generating revenue through new business.
• Experience selling permanent, contract, or consulting recruitment services.
• Confidence in cold calling, prospecting, and developing opportunities independently.
• Experience managing the full sales cycle, from initial outreach through to closing commercial agreements.

The kind of person who will thrive here:

• A natural hunter who is motivated by winning new business and building relationships.
• Commercially minded, competitive, and motivated by uncapped earning potential.
• Resilient and comfortable hearing "no" without losing momentum.
• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and able to work independently in a growing business.
• A strong communicator who can build credibility with everyone from hiring managers to C-suite executives.
• Someone who takes ownership of their results and doesn't wait for opportunities to come to them.
• Experience selling technology recruitment services is highly desirable.

Why TechYard?

We're an international recruitment business with an ambitious plan for the US market. Our Boston office is at the heart of that growth, and we're looking for people who want to help us build something.

This is an opportunity to join a growing business where your contribution will be visible, your success will be rewarded, and your ideas can make a difference.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build something: Play a key role in expanding our US business and developing new client relationships.
• Earn without limits: Competitive base salary with uncapped commission and the opportunity to directly influence your earnings.
• Make an impact: Take ownership of your market, build your own client portfolio, and see the results of your work.
• Grow your career: Develop your skills and progress as the US business expands.
• Work with a great team: Collaborate with an ambitious, entrepreneurial team that values initiative, accountability, and results.

What we offer

• Uncapped commission
• Clear career progression opportunities
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial working environment
• The opportunity to play a significant role in building our US business
